Enveric Biosciences Secures Patent Protection for Breakthrough Neuroplastogen EB-003
In a significant milestone for its innovative drug development pipeline, Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) has announced the receipt of a Notice of Allowance (NOA) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This NOA pertains to a patent application covering the EVM301 Series, a family of molecules being developed as potential treatments for mental health disorders. The allowed claims protect both the composition of matter and methods of use for EB-003, Enveric’s lead drug candidate, which is currently in preclinical development.
The patent application, titled “N-Hetercycle Substituted Tryptamine Derivatives and Methods of Using,” encompasses a novel subset of “multi-substituent” tryptamine derivatives and their applications in treating brain disorders. This development underscores Enveric’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge therapeutics for undertreated mental health conditions such as treatment-resistant depression and anxiety.
A Novel Approach to Mental Health Treatment
EB-003 represents a groundbreaking advancement in the field of neuroplastogenic therapeutics. Unlike traditional treatments or first-generation psychedelics, EB-003 is designed to promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections—without inducing the hallmark hallucinations associated with most psychedelic-inspired compounds.
“This NOA is particularly exciting as the allowed claims cover Enveric’s lead candidate, EB-003, which is currently in preclinical development to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) application,” said Dr. Joseph Tucker, Director and CEO of Enveric. Dr. Tucker emphasized the transformative potential of EB-003, stating, “EB-003 is intended to target major undertreated mental health indications, including treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Preclinical testing has shown its potential to promote neuroplasticity without the unwanted side effects commonly associated with other treatments.”
One of the most compelling aspects of EB-003 is its potential to enable at-home administration, eliminating the need for healthcare professionals to be present during treatment. This could revolutionize the treatment landscape for mental health disorders, offering patients greater accessibility and convenience compared to existing therapies.
Broad Intellectual Property Portfolio Strengthens Market Position
The USPTO’s decision to grant this Notice of Allowance reinforces Enveric’s robust intellectual property strategy. To date, Enveric has secured 12 U.S. patents covering a broad range of composition of matter claims for tryptamine derivatives. Additionally, the company has 34 national applications pending across the U.S. and other key markets, along with two Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications aimed at securing international protection for its innovative compounds.
This extensive IP portfolio positions Enveric as a leader in the development of next-generation neuroplastogenic therapeutics. By safeguarding its proprietary technology, Enveric ensures a competitive edge as it advances EB-003 toward clinical trials and explores opportunities to out-license other promising candidates from its Psybrary™ platform.
The Psybrary™: A Unique Discovery Engine for Mental Health Innovation
At the heart of Enveric’s success lies its proprietary discovery and development platform, the Psybrary™. This comprehensive database houses proprietary information on the use and development of both existing and novel molecules tailored for specific mental health indications. By leveraging the Psybrary™, Enveric can efficiently identify and optimize drug candidates with the greatest therapeutic potential.
The platform not only supports the development of EB-003 but also enables Enveric to explore a pipeline of other innovative compounds. These assets are available for out-licensing to third-party partners pursuing non-competitive market strategies, further expanding Enveric’s impact on global patient care.
Addressing Unmet Needs in Mental Health Care
Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and addiction remain among the most challenging public health issues worldwide. Despite advances in treatment options, millions of patients continue to suffer from conditions that are resistant to conventional therapies. Enveric’s focus on neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics addresses this critical gap by targeting the root causes of these disorders through enhanced neuroplasticity.

By promoting the brain’s natural ability to adapt and heal, EB-003 offers a first-in-class approach to treating difficult-to-address mental health conditions. Its unique mechanism of action, combined with its potential for safe and convenient administration, makes it a promising candidate for transforming patient outcomes.
Advancing Toward Clinical Trials
With the NOA now secured, Enveric is poised to advance EB-003 toward clinical trials. The company’s ultimate goal is to secure regulatory approval for EB-003 as a safe and effective treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders. Simultaneously, Enveric continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio and explore strategic partnerships to maximize the value of its innovative pipeline.
Dr. Tucker added, “Our team remains committed to advancing EB-003 and other novel therapeutics that address unmet needs in mental health care. We believe that our science-driven approach, coupled with strong IP protection, positions us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients worldwide.”
